Go ahead and setup your basic keyboard and computer, cheaply!
Okay, originally, I bought my Casio Midi Keyboard for approx. $250, the midi cables (2) for $20 (or was it $20/each?) and USB Midi interface (was it $30?) and connected it to my Mac G4 which came bundled with GarageBand (part of iLife). Today, you can get this same setup, individually...
Midi keyboard: free to $50
Midi cables: free to $20 (or $10/each)
USB Midi interface: free to $49
Macintosh G4 computer: free to $50 (make sure you get the original OS CD for reinstalling the OS, if you have to!) There you go...from FREE to $169! Optional: External self-powered speakers with bass, or connect to your stereo system (I use an audio mixer which, new, costs $149, not including cables and adapters) Since 2004, I have completed several music arrangements (I used music loops in GarageBand) for videos I’ve worked on. Have fun! --
